Android apps were not downloaded and synced?

I've installed the Aroma version of 3.6. Main problem, I've faced is android application don't synced and downloaded automatically like 3.5.

I'm not sure of the problem, but the only difference on installation is that I've selected finished installation. Then at the settings, account and sync, selected google account, and does the usual authentication. But application were not downloaded even after I've launched google play store and 'agree' the t&c.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm assuming this is where we're doing beta reporting as well since this beta release is public?

I've downloaded the 3.6 version twice verified the MD 5 checksums both times but the program will still crash on me if I select any of the turbo boost options. If I don't select turbo boost the aroma installer will continue as normal.

I am also still experiencing the chrome glitches as well.

I saw on other rom (Coredroid) they modified the green text in blue(at the head of the popup)

And last question but why the settings toggles have this Blue rectangle around ?

After clean install do not restore data from nandroid and do not restore any contacts data using f.e. titanium etc. Import contacts only from google.

If You want to remove this issue with current instalation, try to clear data under "Contacts Storage".

10neke,

Try flashing PYD non boot loop version from his thread before first boot .

Did you desense the Rom? Sometimes a missing launcher gets the same error.

If so I can send you a flashable zip with Nova so your phone boot and then you're free to switch.

Also before leaving Aroma there is an option to save a log. Please post it here
[HTC Sensation] 10neke:
Hello Dubz,

You might be right.I did not format becauseI already did when I installed the previous version.

I received a few possibilities now.

I will try tonight again and report back. I also have a new SD lying arounf CL.10 so who knows i might be Lucky13 (:p ) this time.

Thank you all for the support. :good:

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

Hello,

Did already flash the PYD and the MOD 1.23 of Axetilen. did not desense and have no broken launcher file.

I'll give it one more go when I come home tonight , if it still has a mind of it's own I will post a log.

I inted to get there though..........

Re: [ROM][16 Feb] █ ELEGANCIA™ Rom Series █ | Sense 3.6 | 3.8.0 |► ◄ |Sense 4.1 | 3.6

no to gold,tried,looks good in parts,bad in others,still working on a few bits,pop up menus as requested:D just not sure which 1 to choose:o
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
Please use MOD 1.2.2, The mod in the 1.23 makes all the changes in the init.post_boot.sh, that then may conflict and compete with any you may have in the init.d folder.

I already commented it to Axetilen, I he probably would go back to init.d instead.

So, my suggestion is. Clean install (including SD),

Put the following files in the SD:

ROM.ZIP, PYD non bootloop version, Axetilne AIO 1.2.2.

Then flash ROM. Don't get into the ROM Kernel menu. Please save logs, and reboot. If the rom starts fine. Configure it and make a NANDROID before you start flashing any MODS.

If it doesn't boot or give your aforementioned problems, then go and flash PYD non bootloop file. Do not flash any MOD yet, boot, Check if everything is working fine. If so, config your phone, reboot, Check again to see if everything is working. Then NANDROID,

After you made the NANDROID, then use Axetilen 1.2.2 MOD or use Kernel Tuner with init.d boot option to configure your phone. It should work...

My guess is that either the new implemented cmdline options V6 implemented on the kernel is conflicting with the MODs or that for some other reason the kernel is not flashing properly for some.

My battery drain is worse with this new kernel :confused:

Which one is the best for battery life?

Does anyone use an other kernel?

Gesendet von meinem HTC Sensation Z710e mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
According to Prinz, SebastiamFM 1.52 kernel works pretty neat in Germany... but it all depends on your personal use and preference.

I use one that is not in XDA, but battery wise PYD has work well for me, the same as FAUX (but some versions give me problems with reboots, but I haven't tested the latest 10b11)

Is very important the PYD-X could give same perfomance at lower frequencies and higher battery drain at higher frequencies, so it should't be set up the same as other kernels. Avoid higher frequencies, and limit them to 1188 high freq, and select 972 as 2nd phase either by using the axetilen AIO mod (I recommend using the version 1.2.2 instead of 1.2.3) or kernel tuner (my recommended method for now). Try this first if you haven't use lower frequencies and then if the "high consumption" remains then switch to sebastiam for example.

If very important for people to correctly differentiate between drain and battery consumption

- Drain: your phone battery decrease rapidly

when the phone is on sleeping

. Similar when you have a water leakage... even if all your valves are close you keep loosing water and the bill will show it.

- Consumption: is the rate at which the battery will decrease

when normally using the phone

. Similar to the GPM (gallons per minutes) or LPM (liters per minute) of your water line when you open your water valves. Depending if you can restrict the flow you will or not restrict your consumption. So, how high the mA are when using the phone is the equivalent of the GPM water flow.

I will re-ask you, do you have drain, or do you have consumption?

If you have drain, check your apps, or if you have wakelocks, wifi wakes (I recommend to you all to change your WIFI connection to Static in your home, and configure your router to give an IP for your phone MAC address outside of the HDCM pool, to avoid WLAN_rx_wakes and increase your battery life)

If you have consumption, then you need to search for your right configuration depending on your phones. There are phones that likes GPU overclock, others don't. And there are phones that likes CPU overclock, and there are ones that likes UV. So the right combination is never ever standard, but a good starting point is "stock settings" and monitor CPU times.
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
You flashed yesterday so you can't even say battery behaviour is worse then before. You need a couple of days/ charging cycles, so just have patience or flash SebFM's kernel which is best for me in GER, I can highly recommend this one!

::::::Juan was faster with his detailed description :)
[HTC Sensation] Luftikus:
Thanks... Which Kernel was in the previous Versions (Sense 4.0 - 3.2.0)

This Kernel works perfekt for me!

I have drain and consumtion! Only 8h and my battery was dead... With the old Kernel I had no problems for 24h....

And how do i flash the Kernel? Like the Rom?
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Here's the link to Sebastians kernel. As far back as i remember it has been bricked as stock kernel in v3.2.0 but you have to test it. Like I said, I'm in GER like you with TMO as provider, and somehow my Xe does not like other kernels then SebFM's.

About the AIO mod, you need to check the file in /system/etc/init.post_boot.sh for all the changes that were added by the MOD, and either delete those lines, or comment them with the #, or reflash ROM without wipe, or just can search for the file in the ROM.zip extracted and push it to the folder, set the same permission the file has before modifying it.

Look for hardswap by yank555 and modify Oom to a more lighter setting . There are other ways as to change to Oom grouping of those apps to avoid then to enter to fast in killing priority . You can search that in the v6 supercharger thread but I won't recommend using that unless the Rom support it from ground zero, which isn't the case, but that's an alternative if hardswap doesn't do the trick.

Changing icons by tweaks option like in the other rom and download skin and icon sets from hub?
